LOOPER

Problems such as traffic congestion, safety and pollution are difficult to tackle as the mitigation involves multiple urban stakeholders.

The aim of LOOPER is to build a participatory co-creation methodology and platform to demonstrate ‘learning loops’ (ie new ways of decision-making that bring together citizens, stakeholders and policy-makers to iteratively learn how to address such urban challenges).

The methodology addresses the whole co-creation process. Citizens and stakeholders debate on topical issues, then frame the problem and collect data. The Looper platform visualizes the data and enables the co-design of solutions which are evaluated and the best are put into practice and monitored.

The platform will be tested in three living labs in Brussels, Verona and Manchester.

Aims and objectives

Build a participatory co-creation methodology and platform that encompasses the whole co-creation process.

Enable participatory data collection to identify problems, co-design of solutions as well as the implementation of selected solutions and monitoring of their impact.
